If your using both feet chances are your pushing on the gas at the same time and don't know it lol. If your car is tiptronic that explains how the rpm goes up with the brakes on, the torque converter will allow some revup with the brakes on, say 2500-3000 stall typically. Also if it is tiptronic it will downshift as the car slows down which you may notice on the tach as well, so there are a few possibilities here.

If your car is 5/6speed then you are probablly again pushing on the gas at the same time. When the clutch is fully engaged it's 100% connected to the engine, so if your braking and slowing the wheels your slowing the engine as well no matter what. It will slow right to a stall if you let it. If the RPM is going up then your braking and pushing the gas at the same time.

Either way, sounds like driving error to me.
